Memories…Misty Watercolored Memories

Last week, I had a rude awakening when I attempted to dump my latest photo session files from my camera’s memory card onto my hard-drive. (My 500 GB hard-drive.) It. Was. FULL! It said “nope. nada. not gonna put that here!” and then it laughed manically at my heartache.

Ok, so I MIGHT be being a little bit dramatic.

But, what? How on earth did I fill up 500 GB? I ALWAYS back-up my files to an external hard-drive, burn to a disk when a session is completely done and then clear the files off of my desktop’s hard-drive. ALWAYS. At least, right up until Christmas of last year…ish.

So, I had about 7 months worth of data being stored on my poor computer. And? It was mad at me! Thus, I had to begin the very slow and painful process of burning disks and clearing off my hard-drive. This is the insane successful result:

In total, about 75 disks, all lined up and stacked neatly by month, awaiting their final resting place in the CaseLogic binder (which is also almost full…shhh!)

I can sympathize. My husband has back ups to his backs lol. It’s a great feeling to be able to provide your client with an image that they request which was taken years ago but it’s a lot of work too. Hang in there : D
